Megyn Kelly was the talk of the media elite following her comment that she might leave Fox News after the election — but some believe she’ll get $15 million in reasons to stay.

Guests at The Hollywood Reporter’s Most Powerful People in New York Media event were buzzing Wednesday about Kelly’s comment this week. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said when asked if she was going to extend her time at Fox, where she’s been for 12 years. Her current contract, inked in 2013, expires in summer 2017.

But most TV insiders said they thought it was likely she’ll stay put at Fox.

One told us, “This sounds like a negotiating tactic. Megyn will take meetings with others but she has the best platform at Fox News.” The source added that Kelly will demand “a salary as high as other top men in the news business and equal to that of her rival, Bill O’Reilly.”

Another insider said that Kelly, who reportedly earns up to $9 million a year, could ask for $15 million to put her on par with O’Reilly, who commands between $15 million and $17 million a year. The source said, “The only place she’ll earn a salary that large is Fox News, and Megyn knows it.” Fox News anchors’ pay packages include incentives based on ratings. O’Reilly has been at the channel for 20 years, and has been No. 1 since 2001.

Other talk at the party — hosted by THR’s Janice Min and attended by Kelly and O’Reilly, Anna Wintour, Barbara Walters, Charlie Rose, Julianne Moore, and Lena Dunham — was of possibly running into a Democratic presidential hopeful.

“There was a chance that Hillary Clinton might’ve come but she was unable,” said a rep for THR. Bernie Sanders, who appears on the issue’s cover, was also sent an invite to the bash. But “Sanders was also unable to come due to a campaign conflict,” the rep added.
